He's Schrodinger's shooter.... in many quantum states at once.

By far the most confounding player we have.
Sometime I think he is above average at most things and then other times I think he should be playing down here in Australia….

Sign Klay please

They really have a type. Way too many of the same players. It would be beneficial for all parties.
I think they might tbh, it’s one team where it might actually make sense. Warriors wont let it happen, but if S&T is an option (never know with the damn 2nd apron).. they have some pieces that could be useful here

More just intuition from seeing it a hundred times, but Im not sure GP2 plays in 2H. When adrenaline cools at halftime and if he's not constantly working it out, those small ankle rolls can become nagging injuries

I LOVED the starting line up with Draymond AND TJD. If Klay, Curry and Wiggins hit shots Warriors would have been up big early.

You could see it coming a mile away. Steph got stubborn, and that means a missed 3, a long rebound, and a runout.

Yeah....he's just forcing the game. The razzle dazzle dribbling and chucking. So inefficient lately. Just run and execute.

Right after the 22 championship my dream deal was getting a team like Orlando to send us a nice young cost controlled player for JPoole.

Would have been a great move, but a tough sell pre-punch. Post punch though, woulda been a hell of a move

They're thirsty for a shooter and the fanbase knows it.. I have a couple friends out there who want every single Warrior who hits a jumpshot. Actually they mostly ask about Moody but I dont think they know that he's just an average shooter at best right now.. he's only really good at the 45s. And he's somehow awful at wide open corner 3s

But say we are able to do a S&T with Klay with the 2nd apron, and he gets like 15-25/yr from them - Isaac, WCJ, Jingles, Mo Wagner, Suggs are all useful bits. Would be hard to line up a deal tbh but screw it, nothing ventured nothing gained. Still think the move was to try and get the Goga at the deadline, but now he's borderline impossible to get unless he signs on the cheap. Which he might, I guess, if we go for him

3rd in 4 nights vs a bigger and more physical team. This 2nd half could get ugly.

Imagine if Klay took that shot and allowed the runout.
Steph needs to get his head in the game. Suggs is playing him straight so hunt some mismatches and work him off ball.

TJD MVP of this game so far. Folks...I think we got a legit starting center with a high IQ.
